Gigi's 90th update

Okay, so the date is finalized on June 12-13. It's pretty set in stone since many people have reservations and it's become integrated into people's other travel plans, work plans, etc. The rundown of RSVPs/housing is as follows. If anyone's not listed, it means that I haven't heard anything back one way or the other yet.

Gigi- YES/ Cabin with someone at Canyon RV/1
Mike & Marilyn- YES/ Cabin at Canyon RV/ 2
Darcy & George- YES/ Trailer at Canyon RV/6
Nate & Teresa- YES/ ? (I know you usually stay at a hotel near D-land, but could you confirm for me what your plans are?)/6
Mont & Evie- YES/ Cabin at Canyon RV/2
Windy & Kyle- YES/ our house/4
Mark & Heidi- YES/ we live here ;)/4
Stan & Roberta- Maybe-hopeful/ ? (Could you confirm when you have a reservation somewhere?)/2
Mary & Shep- No, growing large brood :)/0
Nadine & Harvey- No, pre-existing plans/0

Jan had offered long ago to house some people, but in the time between then and now, it's become impossible for a convergence of reasons (1. the study which used to have a sleeper sofa is now a music room with only a piano. 2. the downstairs bedroom is now Mark's office and is no longer used as a guest room 3. One upstairs bedroom now belongs to a close friend who maintains a second residence there 4. The "kids" upstairs bedroom is now Jan's office) So, we may still be able to use the house/yard as a gathering place for one of our group get-togethers, but just not for housing.

We are a group of 25 or 27 at this point. I am going to try to book the small clubhouse that's attached to the pool at the campground for one of the get-togethers.

Also, should we coordinate D-land days or will it be every man/family for himself/themselves?

Any other ideas/comments?
(let's keep gift talk in email)

We are planning on either a 2 or 3 day park hopper, depending on how the rest of the schedule works out. We would be happy to do a group Disneyland thing for one of those days, but we'd also like a day for just the 6 of us. We're up for a group day if anyone else wants to do that.

Oh, and Heidi ~ could you give me the logistics on staying in the RV? I haven't stayed in one since we motorhomed to Oregon/Idaho as kids. I assume it will have a small but full kitchen and also a shower? Will anyone need to sleep on the floor? I assume we bring our own bedding?

Just the 6 of us. That sounds funny. Also, George isn't allowed to stay in the RV until he admits that, while not camping, it can be fun.

Heidi, Mark and Jake said...

:)

We'll give you a full tutorial when you come. I'll post a floor plan.

Darcy said...

Do we bring bedding?

EVIE----MONT said...

There is one further inaccuracy. Nadine just checked and they do not leavbe til June 14 - so they can be there!!!!!!!!

Hooray!

EVIE----MONT said...

New correction - They are going in Sept - not June

MomDad/M&M said...

PTL!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME ITS REALLY TRUE THAT SIS N & H CAN COME???!!!! - I thought that their corrected Sept date was re their SEPT. Lake Tahoe plans??
I AM THRILLED!!!!!!!! - I was REALLY "bummed" that the set June dates hadn't worked for them....
BTW, I mentioned the "occasion" and its dates at work today & got an initial ok!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!! mc

PS to Darc - From our experience(s) with P&J in their trailer, I'd guess that you need to BYO bedding and TOWELS, too!

Heidi, Mark and Jake said...

I just confirmed that she cannot come.

MomDad/M&M said...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHI had SOOO HOPED otherwise......mc

MomDad/M&M said...

We were going to tag along with our 8 Grands at minimum one of the days they were going & if that is the group day so be it, though I can't imagine the logistics of "herding" us ALL through DL at once!! mc

Darcy said...

Heidi, Kyle... you guys doing the group Disneyland thing with us?

EVIE----MONT said...

Is there enough of us to rent the park for the day?

I can just see it now. For an hour we'll discuss the next ride - then one or 2 at a time there will be calls for potty stops.

Let Generalissimo EV plan and schedule the day. I'll plan each attraction in efficient order, set times for trekking from place to place, designated times and places for potty stops, allot meal places and snack eating times. I'll even set limits on the time allowed to eat.

We might get to 4-5 attractions that way. :-)

MomDad/M&M said...

By golly, perhaps there IS enough of us to rent it for the day! ;-)

"General Evie", may I venture the suggestion that you DOUBLE the times for EVERYTHING listed - maybe we can stretch and hit 6 attractions that way?!?
